    Partly tongue in cheek, partly wondering if they would have another go, especially if Brexit is as disastrous as is being predicted.
    Wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but the way right wingers in the US are behaving, and, to a lesser extent in the UK, violence seems to be the way forward.

    It appears that Socialism is getting a foothold again in the USA due to Trump making the previously unacceptable [to them] acceptable, on the grounds of 'anything but Trump'.

    Capitalism is eating itself and we are witnessing the death throes of the Tory party. I just hope people can see through the lies that are being spouted by Gove. Say something untrue often enough and really thick people will believe it to be true.

    Me and Mrs Jab have permanent residence in the Netherlands. Immigration tell us the wording on our ID cards will change to suit whatever situation occurs. I'm relieved our status is assured but dismayed at the mess, horrendous mess of the last four years or so. We've been badly lead by those elected to use their experience and knowledge to act in the best interests of the country. Self interest and party politics have been the motive, be ashamed all those responsible.

    The key thing is that everyone should agree that existing domestivmc arrangements for nationaks remain intact.

    No...the eu has an agenda of increasing federalism....i had no hope that an agreement could be reached as we remain a threat to them in respect to our GDP. It is correct that we leave but the next couple of years will be bumpy.

    No it doesn’t, that was what the Lisbon Treaty was all about.

    Gullible deluded fool you really have been led by donkeys. It was all going to be so easy how did it all go wrong? All those promises, that free trade deal with the EU didn't happen or have I missed something.

    Next couple of years? Try the next two decades. We have no bargaining power.

    Are you in some sort of M.A.D. situation? We'll all go down together? Double the meds, call the Nigerian doctor.

    There’ll be plenty of potato-picking jobs available though, so I’m sure you’ll be fine mate.

    Threat? Our GDP only helps Europe, both in and out of the EU. Moreso in of course. European countries are our closest allies and best trading partners. Of course its in Europe's best interest to show the rest Europe the full negatives effects of independence as it seems some people don't realise how much the EU has benefited us. That's something that will benefit the 100's of millions of people who live in the EU in the long run.

    But the reason the deal has broken down is leaver's rejection of any realistic border proposal, nothing really economic.

    These people told you a whole load of lies and you swallowed every one. They and the other super-rich are the ONLY ones who will benefit from Brexit. You certainly won’t.

    You have swallowed their lies hook line and sinker. I ****ing despair that people who don't realise the con trick being played by these lying bastards is going to well and truly **** up our lives. These confused souls have made us the laughing stock of the world.

    I see Raab had an unexpected meeting with Trump.
    I bet he shat himself and did his usual rabbit caught in headlights routine.
